Periodontology
Every periodontist is a dental specialist who deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the periodontium and the oral mucosa.
The periodontium is made up of several components, such as the root cementum, the gums, the alveolar bone, the periosteum and the periodontium. Their common purpose is to stabilise, fix and protect the tooth in the oral cavity.
The periodontal treatment process depends on the individual patient’s condition and diagnosis. Find out which periodontal treatments we offer at our dental centre in Gliwice.
Gum disease and other oral problems can have serious consequences. For this reason, periodontology places great emphasis on prevention and proper oral hygiene in order to avoid these conditions. The periodontists at Galeria Uśmiechu in Gliwice are excellent experts in the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease.
At Galeria Uśmiechu in Gliwice, periodontists use state-of-the-art equipment and collaborate with other specialists to provide patients with comprehensive care and individually tailored treatment plans. The result is a high standard of dental care.
Referring the patient for additional examinations or specialist consultations allows for a thorough understanding of the cause of the problem and the exclusion of other potential causes of oral and periodontal symptoms. This is an important step in providing comprehensive patient care.
Ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality in periodontal treatment is essential to ensure that patients feel comfortable and confident during treatment. A high level of professionalism and diligence in following procedures are key elements of successful dental care.
Gingivitis and periodontitis are common problems and are often the result of poor oral hygiene. However, susceptibility to these diseases can also be genetic, and oral anatomical defects can increase the risk. The tartar that builds up on the teeth provides a breeding ground for bacteria and can contribute to the development of periodontal disease.
Symptoms of periodontitis and other gum diseases include bleeding gums, swelling, pain, loose teeth and loss of alveolar bone. Professional oral hygiene, regular visits to the dentist or periodontist, as well as proper diet and elimination of risk factors such as smoking, are important in the prevention and treatment of these conditions. It is therefore important to maintain good hygiene habits and have regular dental check-ups.
A visit to a periodontist in Gliwice can be crucial for the early diagnosis of serious health problems. Changes in the periodontium and oral mucosa can be the result of a weakening of the body’s immune system or a disease.
Therefore, pay particular attention to:
A visit to a periodontist is an important part of the diagnosis and treatment plan for patients with periodontal disease. It may include hygienic, corrective and, in some cases, surgical treatments. Regular periodontal care and adherence to oral hygiene recommendations are important for maintaining a healthy periodontium.
Scaling is an important part of oral hygiene. Using an ultrasonic scaler, we can effectively remove tartar from the surface of the teeth. Polishing and fluoridation help to maintain cleanliness and protect against further plaque build-up. These are procedures that contribute to the health and aesthetics of the teeth.
Removing tartar from the subgingival areas of teeth is an essential part of periodontal treatment. Scalers and hand curettes are used to thoroughly clean these hard-to-reach areas. In addition, smoothing the surface of the tooth root and fluoridation help to prevent further periodontal problems. These are important steps in maintaining oral health.
Root canal surgery is an effective method of treating periodontal disease, particularly in patients with deep pockets. The procedure involves cutting through the gum tissue to gain access to the roots of the teeth. This is an important surgical procedure that helps to eliminate inflammation and stop further development of periodontal disease.
Red light treatments, such as photodynamic therapy, are a safe and effective way to combat harmful micro-organisms in the oral cavity. A photosensitiser is a substance that binds to bacteria, fungi and viruses and, when activated by the FotoSan lamp, destroys these micro-organisms. This therapy is painless and has no side effects, making it an attractive option for treating periodontal disease.
The non-invasive method of removing bacteria, tartar and plaque from the teeth and oral tissues using the VECTOR system is an effective treatment option. This treatment also stimulates the formation of new, strong attachments between the gums and the roots of the teeth. In subsequent stages of treatment, measures can be taken to remove the effects of the disease, for example by surgically restoring the damaged periodontium.
This is a method of treating teeth with severely compromised structures below the gum line. Patients for whom a prosthetic restoration or artificial crown is not possible may be candidates for this procedure. Surgically extending the crown of the natural tooth allows for further prosthetic treatment and reduces the risk of disturbing the gum.
Gingivectomy is restoring natural, healthy appearance and shape of overgrown gum.
One of the tasks of periodontology is also the reconstruction of bone defects. In regenerative treatments, we use materials of the highest quality (e.g. Biooss, Emdogain), which eliminate deep pockets in the bone structure. This improves the stability of the teeth and reduces the risk of infection.
